1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

For female employees with two children, societal stereotypes and organizational barriers frequently hinder career progression and diminish proactive work attitudes, including a reluctance to engage in innovative behaviors. Consequently, it is imperative for organizations to strategically focus on fostering their innovative behavior. This research is grounded in social identity theory and social exchange theory. Using Mplus 8.0, we meticulously analyzed and processed data from 528 questionnaires. Through this approach, this research examined the underlying mechanism connecting inclusive leadership with innovative behavior among female employees who have two children. The findings revealed five pivotal insights: (1) Inclusive leadership was positively associated with the innovative behavior of female employees who have two children. (2) Relational identity mediated the relationship between inclusive leadership and the innovative behavior of female employees with two children. (3) Organizational identity also mediated this relationship. (4) Relational identity and organizational identity jointly played a chain mediating role between inclusive leadership and the innovative behavior of female employees with two children. (5) The organizational innovative climate exerted a moderating effect on the relationship between inclusive leadership and the innovative behavior of female employees with two children. The study's conclusions elucidated the transmission mechanism between inclusive leadership and the innovative behavior of female employees with two children, offering valuable reference for enhancing the efficacy of human resource management within organizations.
